Tura, Nov 30: In an interesting development, the ongoing construction of a resort belonging to GHADC Secretary, Sim Recardo R Marak at Gondenggre village in West Garo Hills has been opposed by the Chambugong clan, the custodian of the a’king under which the site falls.
The resort in question is the upcoming Himalaya View point Resort, the construction of which the clan claim is illegal.
An FIR in this regard was filed recently with the Officer in-charge of Jengjal Police Outpost by one, Simson Ch Marak, a leader of the Chambugong clan along with over 40 other villagers.
